Hi @DirkLaurenz , clearly you have curl available in your main user shell (terminal). However, the question is mainly how you're trying to run ddclient. Typically, ddclient is running as some sort of daemon, service (systemctl, systemd), which has different settings for $PATH.
Could you verify how the user and environment are configured which you're using to try and run ddclient?

the PATH variables inside the service file running ddclient are likely the problem. Since this is over a year old, I will close the ticket. Please reopen if it is still an issue, and we can take a closer look.
